Learn how to implement a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Consultation Team within your own treatment setting. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to structure a Consultation Team based on common agreements, breaking down any barriers that might impede your team’s progress and smooth functioning. You’ll assess and identify treatment problems in depth, design the most effective solutions and monitor client progress. You’ll learn to present your own cases more clearly and concisely than ever, and benefit from group consultation and discussion.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps clients improve their emotional health through four core concepts: mindfulness; distress tolerance; emotion regulation; and interpersonal effectiveness. This three-day workshop will develop your knowledge and skills in all four core areas. You’ll learn how to structure DBT skills groups, teach in a more engaging manner, address problem behaviours and help clients get the most out of their homework. You’ll emerge better equipped to help clients who struggle with emotional and interpersonal difficulties to lead less troubled, more satisfying lives.

Now in its sixth year, we are continuing our annual tradition of bringing together clinicians within our community and beyond for a professional training session to enrich your clinical practice. Due to the pandemic, we are holding this year’s training via Zoom and are eager to welcome many of our international colleagues.

Join Dr. Shari Geller with guest presenter Dr. Christopher Germer, experts in the field on Presence and Self-Compassion for a 2-half day workshop. This workshop will offer clinicians core skills and practices to cultivate presence and self-compassion as a foundation for therapeutic relationships, self-care and to teach to clients.
